An array of sculptures and 
paintings sprang up around

Moo Fringe Festival, which 
culminates this weekend with a 
series of events celebrating the 
city’s diversity.

IV Cherie praises MK 
anti-bullying activist 



Praise: Cherie Blair with Alex Holmes after 
the Channel 4 TV programme 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

AN anti-bullying campaigner has been 
praised for his work by the wife of for¬ 
mer Prime Minister Tony Blair. 

Twenty-year-old Alex Holmes, of 
Woodside, Stony Stratford, continued his 
one-man crusade against bullying by 
joining a campaign to rid the streets of 
knives and guns. 

On Sunday his volunteer work across 
Milton Keynes was commended by 
Cherie Blair at a live television debate for 
Channel 4’s Disarming Britain campaign. 

Alex said: “This is such an important 
issue. 

“Every week in 2007 a teenager was 
murdered on Britain’s streets and this 
year is no different. 

“Lots have nicknamed it ‘2000 and hate’. 


“We need to find out why young people 
aren’t respecting each other and young 
people are a very important part of this 
process and ultimately the solution. 

“Cherie congratulated me on my anti¬ 
bullying work and she said how it was so 
important that young people were a part 
of the ‘Street Weapons Commission’ 
debate.” 

The Street Weapons Commission is an 
independent and diverse group of com¬ 
missioners chaired by Cherie Booth QC. 

Alex began his campaign at Kingsbrook 
Business and Enterprise College in 
Deanshanger three years ago after he was 
bullied at the age of 15. 

Sunday’s live studio debate took an 
unflinching look at the truth about gun 
and knife crime among young people, 
presented by Jon Snow. 

Over the last year Alex has toured 


schools around Milton Keynes, offering 
encouragement and words of advice to 
youngsters who feel threatened. 

He is keen to tackle the knife culture 
among young people which has been 
under the spotlight in recent weeks fol¬ 
lowing a series of stabbings in London. 

Now Alex, who is working at Radcliffe 
school in Wolverton, is calling on Milton 
Keynes’ youth to give their input and 
ideas on what we should do about street 
crime. 

He said: “Ultimately I want to change 
the culture in schools of not telling and 
make it fun to get involved and cool to get 
along with each other and respect each 
other.”

Police outside the Conniburrow murder scene on Ramsons Avenue 

Man charged with 
murdering his wife 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

A 55-YEAR-OLD man has 
appeared in court charged with 
the murder of his wife. 

David Andrews was arrested 
shortly after 5.15am on Sunday at 
his home in Ramsons Avenue, 
Conniburrow. 

His wife of 30 years, Sandra, aged 


54, was found dead inside the 
one-bedroom flat, suffering from 
multiple stab wounds. 

The couple, who had four chil¬ 
dren together, had been living 
separately. 

Mr Andrews appeared in the 
dock at Milton Keynes 
Magistrates’ Court yesterday, 
wearing glasses and a blue jacket, 
and listened to Jane Gibbs give a 


summary of the prosecution’s ver¬ 
sion of events. 

His solicitor, Clare Galo, of 
Cartwright and Clarke, made no 
application for bail. 

Chairman of the magistrates, 
Sam Crooks, said Mr Andrews 
would be remanded in custody 
and sent the case to Luton Crown 
Court to be heard later this 
month. 


Schoolkids’ growing pains 


SIXTH form pupils in Milton 
Keynes are being penalised by the 
Government because they live in a 
growing city. 

Headteachers are concerned 
that they are receiving funding for 
far fewer post 16 pupils than they 
believe they will have next year, 
particularly as the population is 
increasing. 

Last week, MK NEWS revealed 
that Walton High was receiving 
funding for only 303 of its predict¬ 
ed 360 sixth form pupils from the 
Learning and Skills Council. 

Headteacher Michelle Currie 
said every school is also having 


money automatically docked 
from 14 pupils. 

Funding for each pupil is around 
£5,000. 

She said: “Milton Keynes is 
unique as a growing city. 

“We are quite confident in our 
figures and we won’t be turning 
any students away as we would 
have to use contingency funding. 

“But it’s the principle at stake 
here.” 

Headteacher of St Paul’s Catholic 
School, Michael Manley, is pre¬ 
dicting he will have 360 pupils - 
but the LSC will only fund 346 of 
them. 


“The system needs to take into 
account the growth of the area,” 
he said. 

An LSC spokesman said: “In 
2008/09 the LSC introduced 
Demand Led Funding, a new 
approach to the funding of the 
post-16 further education sector 
which helps schools with growing 
pupil numbers such as in Milton 
Keynes. 

“In the South East many schools 
applied for funding to deliver sub¬ 
stantial growth in their sixth form 
student numbers - so much so 
that the requests exceeded the 
number of places needed.” 


Citizens’ ‘health profile’ sucks 


BY JESSICA CUNNIFFE 

jessica.cunniffe@mk-news.co.uk 

MILTON Keynes’s residents have 
worse GCSE grades, worse teeth 
and are fatter than the average 
British citizen. 

However, they are less likely to 
need a hip replacement, misuse 
drugs or contract TB. 

That is according to the 
Government, which has produced 
its annual ‘health profile’, scoring 
and comparing every town and 
city on every aspect of wellbeing 
from deprivation to dentistry. 

According to the Department of 
Health’s report, released last week, 
Milton Keynes is significantly 
worse than the English average in 
terms of GCSE achievement, chil¬ 
dren’s tooth decay, death from 



Ouch: We’ve got worse teeth, 
worse GCSE grades and we’re 
fatter than the average UK citizen 


smoking and female life expectan¬ 
cy. Worst of all is the city’s level of 
violent crime, it says. 


There are more infant deaths, 
deaths from cancer and early 
deaths from heart disease and 
strokes than average here, as well 
as a higher rate of teenage preg¬ 
nancy and childhood obesity. 

City MP Mark Lancaster said he 
is particularly concerned about 
the city’s scoring in areas such as 
crime and education. 

“From an education point of 
view it just underlines why I’ve 
been so concerned over funding 
the funding battle for MK’s 
schools - new builds and current 
schools. 

“In terms of crime, while the MK 
police are doing a tremendous 
job, I remain concerned that as 
the city expands it is vital we 
maintain the level of policing per 
head.”

Villagers still live 
in fear of flooding 



BY JESSICA CUNNIFFE 

jessica.cunniffe@mk-news.co.uk 

ONE year on, nothing has been 
done to stop the freak floods in 
Stoke Goldington happening 
again. 

That is the concern of residents 
of the 50 homes hit by two deluges 
in one month, many of whom are 
still staying in hotels and rented 
accommodation or have only just 
moved back to the village. 

Since a £30,000 report was com¬ 
pleted in October only cleaning, 
minor re-alignment of ditches 
and small-scale measures to 
channel water away have been 
completed. 

The report’s high priority recom¬ 
mendations of building a bund 
(mound of earth) and improving 
drainage - which require £150,000 
of the £650,000 needed to make 
Stoke Goldington safe from flood¬ 
ing - will not begin until October. 

Meanwhile, if the same amount 
of rain fell tomorrow that fell on 
June 4 and July 2, 2007, residents 
fear that, just as their homes have 
been restored, the disaster could 
be repeated for a third time. 

Phil Gott is still living in rented 
accommodation after his home 
was ruined by water, losing every¬ 
thing from his son’s A-level work 
to his wedding photos. 

“It was a freak situation, but 
freak situations are now the 
norm,” he said. 

“I woke up this morning with the 
rain pattering on the roof. Every 
time it rains it could happen 
again. It’s very unsettling. We’ve 
had talk and reports but what’s 
physically been done to reduce 
the risk? It’s minimal.” 

He added: “The council has got a 
responsibility to do this. We know 
what needs to be done but they’ve 
got to do it quickly. 

“Three years from now this will 
be a flood-free village and this will 
be behind us. If it’s going to be 
done then why not do it now? 

“The report was done in 
October, it’s now July. Nothing has 
been done to reduce the risk of it 
happening again.” 

Dave Dennis has been back in 
his home since April after paying 
£40,000 to put his house right. 

In his new home insurance 


renewal quote he has seen his 
excess soar from £100 to £5,000, 
while Mr Gott says his premiums 
have gone up by 25 per cent. 

He remembers floods in the 
1980s, when a report suggested 
that culverts should be installed. 
This did not happen then, nor is it 
part of the council’s ‘high priority’ 
plans. 

Nick Allen was living on a farm 
for 11 months with his two small 
children, both of whom are deaf. 

“They’re elated to be back 
home,” he said. 

“They were out of the village and 
away from their friends. We were 
on a farm but it’s not home. 

“We are really lucky in that we 
live in a terrific village.” 

However, Mr Allen fears that the 
repairs ‘could all be undone’ in an 
instant. 


“From my point of view there are 
now things the council needs to 
be encouraged to do. Doing noth¬ 
ing is not an option.” 

A council spokesman said: “We 
have worked very hard to help the 
Stoke Goldington villagers, even 
though in most cases we have no 
legal obligation to do so. 

“We were involved right from the 
outset, for example we provided 
more than 2,000 sandbags to resi¬ 
dents, and helped find alternative 
accommodation for villagers who 
were effectively left homeless. 

“We carried out initial remedial 
work, such as drainage work, later 
in the year, and more is on the 
way, with £150,000 being made 
available to implement measures 
such as introducing small balanc¬ 
ing lakes and more bunds, or ‘mini 
dams’, in the area.” 


Babies moved out of 
hospital in bug scare 


Biker dies in 
early hours 
island crash 


PREMATURE babies have been 
moved from Milton Keynes Hospital 
as staff investigate an infection. 

The Neonatal Unit was closed on 
Thursday after a potentially life- 
threatening infection was reported. 

Mothers with premature babies or 
complications were transferred to 
other local maternity units while an 
investigation began to identify and 
control the infection. 

Yesterday the hospital revealed that 
the infection is Klebsiella, a bacteria 
which is particularly dangerous for 
vulnerable patients and can cause 
pneumonia. 

Symptoms can include a high fever, 
chills, or flu-like symptoms and cases 
of the pneumonia can attack the 
lungs if anti-biotics are not adminis¬ 
tered. 

It is the first time that this type of 


bacteria has been found on the 
Neonatal Unit at the hospital. 

The Health Protection Agency 
(HPA) was called in to help reduce 
the risk of the infection spreading. A 
hospital spokesman said: “It’s essen¬ 
tial that we take all precautions nec¬ 
essary to ensure that patient safety is 
not compromised in any way. 

“We are committed to putting 
patient safety and the well-being of 
all mothers and babies first. 

“The HPA has confirmed that all 
actions to prevent and control the 
bacteria are being carried out.” 

The neonatal unit cares for more 
than 300 premature, small or ill 
babies a year. 

The hospital has also asked that all 
children aged nine or under do not 
visit the Neonatal Unit, in order to 
meet strict hygiene procedures. 


A MOTORCYCLIST was 
killed when his bike 
mounted a roundabout. 

Twenty-six-year-old Dean 
Paul Richardson was riding 
a yellow and blue Suzuki 
motorcycle, when he 
crashed into Ashland 
roundabout, near 

Netherfield, in the early 
hours of Saturday morn¬ 
ing. 

Mr Richardson, from 
Walnut Tree, was thrown 
from the motorcycle. 

He was pronounced dead 
at the scene. 

Police have appealed for 
anyone with information 
to contact Sgt Fraser 
Chamberlain on 08458 
505505.

Fire fighters right to be 
alarmed over new shifts 


Nasty niffs 

SIR - I noted with interest the letter 
concerning takeaways at 
Netherfield. 

The same situation has started to 
happen in West Bletchley (Whaddon 
Way), the last application on the 
most recent takeaway was vigorous¬ 
ly fought against by the residents 
and those affected, was granted 
anyway but with limited opening 
times, but these times are being 
flouted occasionally 

Allegedly a lot of money was spent 
on a filtration system which doesn’t 
seem to be working. 

The owner, when approached as 
there were bad odours from the 
establishment, said he would 
change the filters. Are the filters only 
changed when you complain? 

He stated that the smell from 
another takeaway was worse, does 
this mean they recognise there is a 
problem with smells? 

Some of the local residents are 
unable to open their doors and win¬ 
dows due to the bad odours that are 
around. 

There are lots of elderly pensioners 
that live in close proximity to these 
takeaways, is this the payment we 
give them for working and serving 
this country? 

The local grocery store has been 
approached regarding the noise 
from early morning deliveries and 
asked respectfully if they could have 
more care and thought on noise sur¬ 
rounding this. 

The reply received was not good 
and could be defined as ‘tough’. 

Does Cllr Galloway have nothing 
else to do other than support appli¬ 
cations for takeaways in residential 
areas? 

We approached Irene Henderson 
in person and by letter for help and 
advice on this issue - two years later 
we are still waiting for her response. 

On another issue, residents are 
wondering what will happen to the 
Navy Club now it has changed 
hands - they fear it could change 
into yet another take-away. 

Bletchley resident 
Name and address supplied 

Fare play 

SIR - May I be the first to thank Ron 
Parsons for raising the serious issue 
mentioned in his letter. 

I have contacted the council on 
numerous occasions about taxis 
registered in South 
Northamptonshire operating in MK 
and have been told the same as you 
regarding journeys originating 
and/or ending in South 
Northamptonshire. 

However the evidence says other¬ 
wise. 

Over the past few weeks my wife 
has taken numerous cabs from West 
MK to East MK (both nowhere near 
South Northamptonshire) and on 
each occasion the cab that trans¬ 
ported her was NOT registered with 
MK Council. 

It is high time the council did 
something about this issue and not 
just shake their heads and tut-tut 
about complaining residents. 

What I want to know is who regu¬ 
lates cabs registered in another 
county but operating in MK? 

I wonder if MK Council will say 
that it is South Northamptonshire 
because that is where they are 
licenced or will South 
Northamptonshire say it is MK 
Council because that is where the 
cab is operating? 

Once I have a response from our 
beloved council I will ask MK NEWS 
to publish it. 

Keep an eye out. 


SIR - Regarding ‘Firefighters 
alarmed by proposed shift 
changes’ - last week). 

As a professional fire fighter 
working in another brigade cur¬ 
rently working the 12-hour 
shifts, I can tell you they are 
detrimental to family life and 
the wellbeing of fire fighters. 

The current high work load of 
equipment training and home 
fire risk inspections and also all 
the emergency calls attended 
leaves the crews exhausted. 

It has been noted that the 
fatigue suffered by crews has led 
to minor accidents in fire 


engines and while training. 

Some services have used the 
working time directive and fam¬ 
ily-friendly issues as a way of 
pushing these changes through. 

Also, some brigades - having 
forced shift changes on their 
work force - have realised their 
detrimental impact on the 
workforce and are looking at 
ways of saving face and chang¬ 
ing shift times by 15 to 30 min¬ 
utes or even allowing some form 
of self-rostering as practiced in 
the ambulance service.

hardly the segregated ghettoes to 
which the writer alludes. 

The accusation that mosques are 
breeding places for radical Islam is 
false and without any evidence. 

There are four mosques in Milton 
Keynes where thousands of 
Muslims attend prayers regularly 
and, to date, there has not been a 
single arrest of a Muslim in Milton 
Keynes for any extremist activities 
as we have seen elsewhere in the 
country - and in all the cases the 
radicalisation was blamed on for¬ 
eign policy and not what is taught 
in the mosque. 

It seems the anonymous writer 
has major issues with Islam and 
even linked the recent problems 
between two groups of people with 
Islamic extremism, when everyone 
in Wolverton knows that they were, 
and are, disputes between two 
groups of people and nothing to do 
with the religion of Islam, which 
forbids violence as a means to 
resolve disputes. 

As for Muslims having no contact 
with the local population, the 
writer contradicts himself by later 
on saying: ‘a high percentage of 
young Muslims end up as taxi dri¬ 
vers or restaurant owners’. 

These jobs involve very high levels 
of interaction with all members of 
society, so I would like to ask what 
the writer means by ‘local popula¬ 
tion’? Who are they and where are 
they to be found? 

Also the question that Muslims 
don’t interact with the indigenous 
population needs also to be asked 
of the indigenous population. How 
many of them interact with 
Muslims and discuss as opposed to 
believing everything they read and 
see on the media about Islam and 
Muslims? 

Interaction and integration is a 
two-way process and not just limit¬ 
ed to one group of people. 

I agree that money should be given 
to all sectors of society equally and 
spent on better health services, road 
infrastructure, schools, housing, 
organisations dealing with drug and 
alcohol misuse, abused women and 
children, single parent families and 
anti-social behaviour by delinquent 
youths which have made society 
dangerous for all of us. 

Yes, I am in favour of Muslims 
interacting more with wider society 
and dispelling the myths which 
exist about us and I invite the 
writer of the letter and other non- 
Muslims to visit our places of wor¬ 
ship in Bletchley, Wolverton, 

Granby and New Bradwell and the 
Friday sermons we hold in 
Fishermead, Netherfield, 
Buckingham University and 
Cranfield University, and find out 
more about Islam and what is 
being taught in the mosques. 

I assure them that they will be 
pleasantly surprised.

James Becker 
Deacon Place, Middleton 

■ SIR - Mr Parsons has misunder¬ 
stood the law relating to ‘outside’ 
operators worldng in Milton Keynes. 

There is nothing illegal about pri¬ 
vate hire, or ‘pre-booked’ cabs oper¬ 
ating outside of their area and a 
South Northants private hire opera¬ 
tor can legitimately take bookings 
for a journey starting and ending in 
Milton Keynes. 

Properly licensed vehicles display 
a council licence plate exhibited on 
the rear. This plate identifies the 
vehicle registration, make and 
model. It also incorporates a licence 
number and ‘expiry date’. A council 
‘logo’ identifies the area where it is 
licensed. The drivers should also be 
licensed and be wearing/exhibiting 
a licence badge. 

However, the number of ‘unli¬ 
censed’ vehicles operating within 
our area is actually minimal. Our 
biggest problem comes from private 
hire drivers illegally picking up fares 
off the street. 

We are constantly stressing to peo¬ 
ple the dangers of climbing into 
unbooked private hire vehicles off 
the street. 

If you do so, not only is the dri¬ 
ver/operator acting illegally, but 
they will not be insured in the event 
of an accident.

MK Council 

On the ball 

SIR -1 would like to thank all the 
firms that took part in the korfball 
charity event organised by the three 
MK clubs at Tattenhoe Pavilion on 
june 25. 

I would also like to thank your 


paper for promoting the event. 

The tournament was won by 
Sports Leaders UK. 

The event raised £320 for the MK 
Neo Natal Baby Unit. The charity is a 
favourite charity of MK City Korfball 
Club but became an even more sig¬ 
nificant good cause for us as one of 
our players gave birth to a prema¬ 
ture baby boy two days before the 
event. Her husband also plays for 
our team. 

The little boy is still being looked 
after in the unit and we are delight¬ 
ed he is doing very well and is in 
such excellent care. 

We now turn our attentions to 
Korfstock again at Tattenhoe 
Pavilion on july 12. Besides 40 korf- 
balling teams we have live music, 
dodgeball, cheerleading, rugby, 
giant inflatables, arts and crafts, face 
painting and much more. 

All activities are free but we do 
have a few stalls raising money for 
more good causes. 

All are welcome at Korfstock. 
Details can be found at www.korf-

SIR -1 write in response to the let¬ 
ter which appeared in the MK news 
25th June headlined ‘Muslim 
money target’ and would like to 
make a few points and clarifica¬ 
tions. 

All religious groups are exclusive 
by their very nature since they are 
only for people who believe in and 
follow that religion. 

So groups like the BNP, the 
National Secular Society and 
Christian groups do not allow 
Muslims to join since our beliefs 
contradict with their membership 
policies, but I have never heard of 
any Muslim complaining. 

Muslims prefer to live in areas 
which have the services and facili¬ 
ties we have need for, such as 
mosques and halal shops, just like 
Christians and others prefer to live 
in areas where there are churches, 
pubs, nightclubs and other services 
which they need. 

Also the areas quoted in the letter 
- Wolverton and Bletchley - are 
majority non-Muslim areas and are

The city’s bridges, like this one over the canal at H9 Groveway, are reaching the end of their life expectancy 

Repairs spending 
a bridge too far? 


More and more 
council cash is 
needed to keep 
bridges safe 

BY JESSICA CUNNIFFE 

jessica.cunniffe@mk-news.co.uk 

MILTON Keynes has more 
bridges than Venice but are ours 
in as good a condition? 

As the new city begins to age - 
Milton Keynes celebrated its 40th 
birthday last year - many of its 200 
road, canal and foot bridges are in 
need of restoration. 

And because the bridges were 


built at a similar time, those 
repairs are needed at the same 
time, so council staff are currently 
conducting surveys of all the 
bridges in the city. 

In fact, future infrastructure pro¬ 
jects may have to be put on hold 
while council money, £130 million 
of which comprises the yearly 
capital programme, must be 
directed to repairing existing 
structures. 

Cllr Chris Williams, cabinet 
member for environmental ser¬ 
vices and housing, said the 
bridges’ state owes to the fact that 
‘Milton Keynes is maturing’. 

“Many of them are now begin¬ 
ning to reach their life expectan¬ 
cy,” he said. 

“We will, in the next year capital 
programme, be asking all three 


political parties the priorities that 
we believe is to look at the main¬ 
tenance of our bridges. 

“Over the last two years we have 
put aside money to bring up the 
level standards on the major 
bridges. 

“Next year we will put in signifi¬ 
cantly more money than in the 
last two years - and in the last two 
years we have put in a greater 
amount than we put in before. 

“We’ve spent well over £2million 
on the H9 project to upgrade the 
bridge. 

“We will need to spend at least 
that amount over the next year in 
small amounts. 

“I must point out that there’s no 
danger of them falling down but 
we believe prevention is better 
than cure.”

Councillor unsure on climate change 


A COUNCILLOR proposed a 
motion at last night’s council 
meeting against the ‘religion’ of 
climate change. 

Cllr Andy Dransfield insists he is 
not a climate change-denier, but 
believes the widespread thought 
that humans are having a detri¬ 
mental effect on the planet could 
be a myth. 

Therefore he wants Milton 
Keynes Council to rethink its new 
green policy of investing £20,000 
in becoming energy efficient. 

At the cabinet meeting the coun¬ 
cil resolved that ‘climate change is 
a real imminent concern, and 
recognises also that all countries, 


all localities and communities 
must play their part in ensuring 
that the threat of climate change 
can be tackled’. 

However, on the day when MPs 
were debating the Climate 
Change Bill calling for a 60 per 
cent cut in C02 emissions by 
2050, Cllr Dransfield was propos¬ 
ing that the causes of climate 
change are not yet certain. 

“I’m very much supportive 
about being an efficient council,” 
he said. 

“I want to make sure that we do 
reduce consumption of energy, 
but there is almost a religion 
about climate change. 


“I accept that the climate is 
changing. The question is whether 
humans are causing it or it is nat¬ 
ural. 

“I’m not convinced. It’s not that 
simple. It’s saying stop believing 
the rhetoric and look at the evi¬ 
dence that climate change is not 
caused by humans. 

He added: “The vast majority of 
the council have got their blinkers 
on. I think in not too many years’ 
time the council will wake up to 
this excuse for taxation and say 
the emperor’s not wearing any 
clothes. 

“We are being taxed in order to 
follow a religious fervour.”

Hospital A&E closed 
as patient runs riot 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

A PATIENT ran riot at Milton 
Keynes Hospital after breaking 
into the roof of the Accident and 
Emergency Department. 

The department was closed at 
around 6am on Monday and 
ambulances were forced to take 
patients to hospitals in Aylesbury 
and Northampton after the 
patient ran amok, destroying ceil¬ 
ing tiles and bursting water pipes. 
Hospital security battled to 


restrain the 26-year-old man until 
the police arrived. 

He was arrested on suspicion of 
causing criminal damage and was 
later released on police bail until 
August. 

Other patients who were being 
treated in A&E were evacuated to 
other parts of the hospital and the 
ambulance service was told to 
take new cases to the closest other 
hospitals. 

Two ambulances were diverted 
as a result. 

Repair men were called in 


immediately and began to mend 
the pipes and ceiling tiles. 

The fire brigade were called to 
clear the flooded areas of A&E. 

The department re-opened at 
10.30am once the repair work was 
complete but one cubicle 
remained closed. 

A spokesman said the hospital 
would be much busier because of 
the incident and urged new 
patients to use the on-site walk-in 
centre or call NHS direct if they 
were suffering from minor 
injuries.

Judge takes time 
on wind farm case 


BY LAURA HANNAM 

laura.hannam@mk-news.co.uk 

THE battle against a wind farm 
set to be built near Emberton has 
reached the High Court. 

But protesters challenging plans 
for a seven-turbine wind farm 
must wait to hear whether they 
have succeeded in their challenge. 

Mr Justice Andrew Collins has 
reserved judgment in the case in 
which Andrew Finn-Kelcey, is 
challenging permission granted 
by Milton Keynes Council in 
January for the 125m-high tur¬ 
bines to be erected on land at 


Petsoe Manor Farm, Emberton. 

He will now give his judgement 
in writing, probably later this 
month though no date has yet 
been set. 

Mr Finn-Kelcey, who owns land 
north of the site including 
Shepherd’s Hovel, Top Farm and 
Clifton Pastures, is a member of 
the local campaign group 
opposed to the wind farm, Bucks 
Lacks Enough Wind (BLEW). 

BLEW is sceptical about the fig¬ 
ures for the wind farm’s annual 
electricity output that were put to 
the council. They say there is not 
enough wind in the area to justify 


the harm the turbines will do to 
the landscape. 

Lawyers for MK Windfarms 
argue that the challenge should be 
thrown out because it was not 
brought promptly enough. 

And they say that, because of the 
long lead in times for wind turbine 
manufacture, any further delay 
will prejudice its ability to have 
the wind farm operational by 
2010, and prejudice the contribu¬ 
tion it is expected to make to the 
Government’s target of having 10 
per cent of the country’s energy 
needs met by renewable sources 
by that year. 


Gay cops prompt homophobia debate 


TEACHERS and police officers will 
be taught how to tackle homopho¬ 
bia among young people. 

More than 30 education workers, 
police and community support 
officers will attend a presentation 
on Friday to debate how to reduce 
the problem at schools in Milton 
Keynes and the rest of Thames 
Valley. 

The event has been organised by 
Stonewell, a charity group which 
campaigns for equality for les¬ 
bians, gay men and bisexuals. 


It will focus on what outlines 
homophobic bullying, the effect 
such behaviour can have on 
young people and what can be 
done to prevent and deal with it. 

Jay Andrews, from Thames Valley 
Police’s diversity unit, said: “The 
idea to involve Stonewall came 
from our Gay Police Association, 
who saw an opportunity to bring 
together police and education 
professionals and identify ways of 
working together to improve the 
way we deal with and prevent 


homophobia. 

“We already do a lot of work with 
the gay and lesbian community 
across the Thames Valley but this 
taps into a new audience and 
gives us a way of engaging with 
our own staff in a bid to improve 
understanding and encourage a 
pro-active response.” 

Stonewall’s senior education 
officer, Chris Gibbons, said: “I’m 
very encouraged by the positive 
attitude towards solving homo¬ 
phobia this demonstrates.” 


Milton Keynes Partnership Committee has planning powers to determine major applications 
within the defined Urban Development Area (UDA), which covers 
the expansion areas to the east and west of Milton Keynes and a 
small area to the north of the city.

MPs rise and fall 
to expenses vote 



BY JESSICA CUNNIFFE 

jessica.cunniffe@mk-news.co.uk 

THE city’s two MPs took oppos¬ 
ing stances when they voted last 
week on the controversial ‘John 
Lewis list’. 

Mark Lancaster, MP for Milton 
Keynes North East, voted to scrap 
the additional costs allowance 
which allows MPs to kit out their 
homes with public cash. 

Meanwhile, Dr Phyllis Starkey, 
MP for Milton Keynes Southwest, 
successfully voted to keep the cur¬ 
rent allowance system of up to 
£24,000, with MPs’ spending 
being looked at by internal audi¬ 
tors. 

In the wake of the Derek Conway 
affair, where the MP overpaid his 
son using expenses, the Members 
Estimate Committee recommend¬ 
ed that MPs should be scrutinised 
externally and money for second 
homes should be reformed. 

Dr Starkey believes that the dif¬ 
ference in systems - the current 
£24,000 that can be claimed 
would be replaced with a cap of 
£18,000 plus £30 for every day 
they are in London - is unneces¬ 
sary. The difference in what MPs 
could claim would have been £206 
a year. 

Dr Starkey said: “I voted for the 
pay restrictions. It’s not for the 
John Lewis list, which I’ve never 
used, it’s for the additional cost 


Phyllis Starkey: Changing the 
‘John Lewis list’ is unnecessary 

She claimed: £141,541 

allowance in Milton Keynes.” 

Mr Lancaster said: “Last week I 
wanted to reform MPs’ expenses. 
It’s vital if we are claiming public 
money. 

“I voted for transparency and 
audited expenses.” 

In 2006/7 Mr Lancaster used 
£21,300 of the additional costs 
allowance while Dr Starkey used 


Mark Lancaster: Voted for trans¬ 
parency and audited expenses 

He claimed £139,928 

£16,950. 

Overall Mr Lancaster claimed 
£139,928 that year while Dr 
Starkey claimed £141,541 to pay 
for things like staff, travel and run¬ 
ning their offices. 

MPs also voted for a below-infla¬ 
tion pay rise, with their salaries 
increasing from £61,000 a year to 
just over £63,000.

JC - Your tour starts this week and 
you’ve got an intense schedule 
ahead. How are you and the band 
gearing up for it? 

JH - With my big band the best 
opportunity to rehearse is to play 
live - that’s the only real way to 
practice. We have been doing a lot 
in Australia and Singapore. 

JC - So you’ve been practising for 
us in Singapore?! 

JH - Yes, we will spare no effort for 
Milton Keynes, if it means going 
around the world to get it right 
then we will. 

JC - What can Milton Keynes 
expect on July 20? 

JH - Well we will have some ska 
and reggae stuff, some more 
unusual ones such as Tainted 
Love as we have Marc Almond 
and also vocals from Ruby 
Turner, who is the most amazing 
R&B singer. The great thing about 
big bands is knowing that you 
cannot replicate that sound - 
knowing that you can’t get a syn¬ 
thesiser to make that sound. 

JC - What do you think of the city? 

JH - I have explored Milton 
Keynes before actually. I like it. 
I’m very taken with the design of 
the station. 

JC - Your band has been together 
for 21 years now - how has it 
evolved over that time? 

JH - The great thing about music 
is that the more you do it, the 
more of a mystery it becomes. I

like BB King it just flows out. I 
like people who are distinctive. If 
I hear Amy on the radio I know 
it’s her. I don’t like soundalikes. 

JC - Which artist would you most 
like to collaborate with? 

JH - A few dead people I suppose. 
I have played with Paul 
McCartney, Ringo Starr and 
George Harrison, but I never got 
to work with John Lennon. Betty 
Smith as well. 

JC - How do you feel about the 
state of the music industry in 
2008? 


JH - Its the same as it’s always 
been. But it’s more like 1908 - 
there are more people coming to 
see live shows. People are getting 
bored with computer sounds. 

JC - How do you feel about the 
criticism levelled at you for pre¬ 
senting your pre-recorded 
Hootenanny as ‘live’. 

JH - Sometimes we do it live, 
depending on who the guests are. 
It has become an institution. The 
expectation I think couples with 
having people like Paul 
McCartney and Kylie dueting as 
they did last year. 

JC - So what do you do on new 
year’s eve when it’s pre-recorded - 
do you watch the show go out? 

JH -1 just chill out, I’m usually so 
tired by that time. 

JC - Will you be sticking around in 
MK for a while after your gig? 

JH - [Jokingly] Well I will probably 
be doing a water colour of the sta¬ 
tion... I like Milton Keynes. I’ve 
always liked it. It’s a warm place, 
the people are warm, it’s great. 
And it’s got a great spirit.

Fun from Friday to Sunday 


BY ROB GIBSON 

rob.gibson@mk-news.co.uk 

PREPARE for a summer week¬ 
end on groundbreaking events 
in the city. 

Fun seekers will be spoiled for 
choice from Friday to Sunday as 
organisers offer a variety of 
amusements around the city 
from the colourful to the down¬ 
right bizarre. 

On Sunday the most diverse 
group of people ever to assem¬ 
ble under one roof will fill 
Christ the Cornerstone Church 
to celebrate the city’s variety as 
part of the first Fringe Festival 
of the Arts. 

Residents of every age, sexual 
orientation, religion, ethnicity 
and physical disability will then 
take part in a Celebr8 parade 


through the city centre. 

The Fringe Festival will run 
throughout the weekend, with 
over 100 artists and organisa¬ 
tions showcasing their work. 

The Big Moo 2 will also draw 
the crowds at Campbell Park 
again and there are plans to cre¬ 
ate a man made beach on 
Avebury Boulevard. As well as 
the live music stage there is also 
a fun fair including a spectacu¬ 
lar 150ft ride from the Keith 
Emmett and Sons funfair. More 
details on www.thebigmoo. 
co.uk 

The third major event to hit 
the city will be MusiK 4U at 
Station Square; a free festival 
introducing some of the best 
local talent, including a dance 
arena, graffiti wall, market place 
and urban beach volleyball. 


Yesterday, 200 tons of sand 
were laid down in preparation 
for the volleyball event at 
Station Square. 

The event will take place in 
Station Square this weekend 
and will tie in with Milton 
Keynes’ annual youth music 
festival, Musik4U. 

The event is free and everyone 
is invited to watch professional 
volleyball players from across 
the country demonstrate their 
athletic prowess, as well as 
enjoy the entertainment and 
take part in activities, competi¬ 
tions and coaching throughout 
the weekend. 

Locals will also attempt to 
break two world records over 
the weekend - the biggest piece 
of artwork made with plastic 
carrier bags and the most peo¬ 


ple face-painted in an hour. 

Fringe Festival organiser 
Gavin Anderson has plans to 
attract some of the world’s best 
artists to Milton Keynes. 

He said: “We want to build the 
Fringe Festival into a pan- 
European arts festival. 

“We’re a little bit conservative 
in Milton Keynes - people have 
never celebrated our diversity 
before. 

“We want to engage local peo¬ 
ple and promote creativity for 
our schools. We will be as big as 
Barcelona, Milan and London 
Arts Week.” 

Critics will be able to see art at 
110 locations, from thehub:mk 
and thecentre:mk, while ‘art 
buses’ will ferry people out to 
other locations around Milton 
Keynes.

The orb from Unity is moved to the front of the ‘Smartie’ building at Milton Keynes College 

A ‘Smartie’ way to 
move Unity statue 


THE crowning jewel in the 
£3.5million extension to Milton 
Keynes College’s Chaffron Way 
campus has been returned in the 
form of ’Unity’, a student- 
designed sculpture. 

The 20ft three-pronged statue 
capped with a shining metal orb 
had been kept in storage while the 
revamp of the site took place. 

College marketing manager, 
Chris Rice said: “It’s great to have 
Unity back. It represents the three 
college campuses and the staff, 
stakeholders and the community 
all coming together to support our 
students. 

“It was designed by an Art, 


Design and Media student, 
Dominic Warpole and it embodies 
the true spirit of the college.” 

Building work at the Chaffron 
Way campus is on course to be 
completed by August 2008. 

The extra l,300sq ft will see the 
addition of a new learning 
resource centre and IT training 
suite housing 70 PCs, along with a 
new library and new reception 
area. There will also be a large new 
outside courtyard which will pro¬ 
vide space for students to socialise 
in a secure environment. 

It has been especially designed 
to incorporate a sensory garden 
with textured flooring and plants. 


The new building is proving pop¬ 
ular with staff and students alike 
and has become affectionately 
known as the Smartie building - 
due to the large colourful round 
discs attached to the outside. 

Business student Chloe Baxter, 
17, said: “I love the bright colours 
on the new building that look like 
Smarties. It makes me smile when 
I come onto campus.” 

Sarah Brown, a member of the 
college admissions team added: 
“The statue has always been a 
great gathering place for people on 
sunny lunchtimes and looks great 
in front of the new, colourful 
reception.” 


ASB0 for prolific woman shoplifter 


A WOMAN from Fullers 
Slade has been given an 
ASBO to stop her 
shoplifting. 

Patricia Smith, 26, 
(right) was issued with a 
ban from Central Milton 
Keynes Shopping Centre 
at MK Magistrates’ Court 


last Thursday (July 3). 

Smith was in court for 
theft and possession of a 
bladed instrument, for 
which she received a sus¬ 
pended sentence, super¬ 
vision requirements and 
a six months residential 
drugs rehab programme. 


Smith is a prolific 
offender with over 36 
convictions of theft since 
2003. Many of these 
offences were committed 
in Wolverton and Stony 
Stratford, areas of which 
she is also banned from 
entering.

landscapers get to grips with undergrowth on the redway near Midsummer Boulevard 


Mr and Mrs Mops make short 
work of second Big City Clean 


THE city was given a ‘big clean’ 
yesterday. 

Businesses and the local 
authority once again joined 
forces to give the area from 
Station Square to the base of 
Midsummer Boulevard a 
clean. 

It is the second time this year 
such a high profile exercise has 
taken place and is the brain¬ 
child of Central Milton Keynes 
Partnership. 

Milton Keynes Council’s 
Streetcare team and their con¬ 
tractors worked in partnership 
with members of the Central 
Milton Keynes Partnership - 
thecentre:mk and Midsummer 
Place shopping centre, 
Thames Valley Police and 
London Midland. 

“The event shows just how 
proud the businesses and peo¬ 
ple are of Milton Keynes,” said 
Martin Small, streetcare locali¬ 
ties manager at Milton Keynes 
Council. 

“As with the first Big Clean 
earlier this year, a multi¬ 
agency walking-audit was car¬ 


ried out to put together the 
schedule of works for the day 
for all partners. Each partner in 
the clean then brought enough 
volunteers to complete the 
work assigned to them.” 

During the day landscaping 
was cleared and cut back 
allowing deep cleaning and lit¬ 
ter picking, graffiti removal, 
jet-washing, steam cleaning, 
gum removal, weeding, paint¬ 
ing of underpass ceilings, 
street furniture and lampposts, 
light cleaning and repairs and 
so on. 

Kay Greenhalgh, City Centre 
manager said: “It was wonder¬ 
ful to see public bodies and 
private companies working 
together towards a clean and 
safe city centre. 

“This is the second Big Clean 
event this year and we hope to 
put on more within Central 
Milton Keynes in the future. 

“The Big Clean shows how 
people working together can 
achieve the same goals and 
demonstrate pride in our city 
centre.” 



Some of the Big Clean team get to work on an underpass 
between Station Square and Midsummer Boulevard

STUDENTS literally went the extra mile 
yesterday to win second prize with their 
home-made eco car. 

Pupils from Leon School and Sports 
College School, Bletchley took part in the 
Shell Eco-marathon Youth Challenge at 
the Rockingham Festival of Science on 
Thursday. 

The team, who had built their car from 
scratch, competed against 17 other 
schools from across the UK in the nation¬ 
al driving competition where speed is 
sacrificed for efficiency. 

The schools aim to complete the course 
at the world famous Rockingham Motor 
Speedway using the least fuel possible 
whilst maintaining an average speed of 
15mph. 

The Leon School, who entered two cars 
in the competition, topped the leader 
board all day long but missed out on vic¬ 
tory by a whisker. 

Their vehicle managed an impressive 
1,722 miles per gallon - making it nearly 
48 times more fuel efficient than a Ford 
Mondeo.

Charity out to boost 
wheelchair sport 



Youngsters get some basketball training 


A SPINAL charity from Milton 
Keynes is encouraging people to 
get involved in wheelchair sport 
ahead of the Beijing Olympics. 

Fewer than two per cent of UK 
wheelchair users regularly take 
part in any kind of sporting activi¬ 
ty, a statistic Oldbrook-based 
charity the Spinal Injuries 
Association (SIA) would like to see 
dramatically increase. 

Having been elected official 
charity of the 2008 London 
Marathon, SIA elected to augment 
its commitment to increasing 
sports participation by ploughing 
50 per cent of the money raised by 
its runners directly into grass roots 
wheelchair sport. 

Through its new initiative, 
Rebuilding Lives Through Sport 
(RLTS), SIA hopes to promote and 
support the development of para¬ 
lympic sports across the UK and, 
would like to receive applications 
for funding from clubs and soci¬ 
eties in Milton Keynes. 

Marianne Prior, spokesman for 
SIA, said: “With the Beijing 
Olympics fast approaching and 
Britain’s paralympic team contin¬ 
uing to outshine its able-bodied 
equivalent, the impact sport can 
make on disabled people’s lives 
has never been quite so apparent. 

“To wheelchair users in particu¬ 
lar, participating in sport can 
prove a real life-line by boosting 
confidence, nurturing indepen¬ 
dence, alleviating isolation and 


improving physical fitness.” 

Grants vary from £1,000 to 
£50,000 and recipient projects 
must be endorsed by the relevant 
governing body 

While successful projects must 
include wheelchair participants, 
recipients need not be spinal cord 
injured and applications from a 
broad range of organisations and 
individuals are welcomed. 

SIA is also keen to give local resi¬ 


dents and businesses first refusal 
on its last few remaining places in 
the London Triathlon (August 9 
and 10) the Adidas Women’s 5k 
Challenge (September 7 in 
London, Liverpool and 
Birmingham) and the 10m Great 
South Run, in Portsmouth on 
October 26.

Cracking deal: 
Bletchley Park 
is one of a 
number of 
heritage 
attractions and 
museums 
offering 
discounted 
entry 


Attractions out to attract 
with attractive pricing 


CODE-BREAKING, a world 
famous children’s storyteller and a 
stately home all have one thing in 
common - they all form part of a 
family friendly initiative to offer 
discounted entry to local muse¬ 
ums and heritage attractions. 

Six museums and attractions in 
the Milton Keynes and South 
Midlands Area have come togeth¬ 
er to give the public a host of fam¬ 
ily fun events and two great offers. 

Any member of the public that 
pays full price at the first attrac¬ 
tion they visit will then gain half- 
price entry at all the other five 
participating attractions, which 
could save each person up to £16. 

Furthermore, if all six venues are 
visited in the year, that person will 
be entered into a free prize draw. 

To take advantage of this offer, 
people need to obtain the 


Museum Family Fun Feaflet and 
then collect stamps from each 
venue until their card is complet¬ 
ed. Closing date for the draw is 
December 31, 2008. 

The venues participating are 
Bletchley Park, The Roald Dahl 
Gallery at the Buckinghamshire 
County Museum, Aylesbury, 
Cowper and Newton Museum, 
Olney, Milton Keynes Museum, 
Wolverton, Old Gaol, Buckingham 
and Woburn Abbey, Woburn. 

All of these venues provide excit¬ 
ing events and activity throughout 
the year, but are focusing on fam¬ 
ily fun for 2008 and committed to 
being family friendly. 

The Family Friendly Initiative is 
part of a wider campaign to 
ensure that museums across 
Berkshire, Oxfordshire, 

Buckinghamshire and MK provide 


families with a warm welcome, 
offer free activities and, where 
available, an affordable cafe 
and/or shop. 

Shane Downer, senior heritage 
officer for Milton Keynes said: 
“The venues involved are com¬ 
mitted to working together to pro¬ 
vide fantastic exhibitions, fun 
events and better access to our 
heritage. I am delighted that the 
council could support this initia¬ 
tive.” 

Feaflets are available at the six 
attractions and at the new CMK 
Discover Milton Keynes Showcase 
where heritage and cultural infor¬ 
mation is combined with shop, 
exhibitions and events. 

Discover Milton Keynes is on the 
outside of thecentre:mk shopping 
centre on Silbury Boulevard 
between Crown and Deer Walks.

Getting serious about 
service at thecentre:mk 



Charm and customer service skills: Vikki Boekbinder, manager at 
Waterstones presents Lisa Hunt with her certificate 


THE first monthly winner of the- 
centre:mk’s customer service 
scheme, the Serious Service 
awards, is Lisa Hunt from 
Waterstones in Silbury Arcade. 

Lisa came ahead of 62 other 
nominations from around the 
shopping centre. 

Lisa was nominated by shopper 
Jenny Penn for her diligence, 
enthusiasm and genuine interest 
in the customer’s needs. 

Jenny’s grandson is travelling the 
world, getting the bus from 
London to Sydney and she was 
keen to be able to follow his 
adventures. Lisa spoke to Jenny 
about what she needed, took her 
time with her and gave her full 
attention until she found the 
product just right for her. 

The globe they decided on was 
perfect for her needs and Jenny 
was highly impressed with Lisa’s 
charm and customer service skills. 

“I’m very flattered to be the first 
monthly winner of the award,” 
said Lisa, “Every time we deal with 
a customer we hope to help them 
find the right product for their 
needs. However, for that customer 
to remember the experience and 
nominate me for recognition is 
really exciting. “ 

In a close contest Peter Knight 
Manager of The Entertainer,ran a 
close second. 

One customer said: “Both my 
boys ask to come to the shopping 
centre just to see Peter”. 

Jemma Lield from LHinds came 


in third. Jemma went out of her 
way to show a customer a variety 
of different lockets, changing the 
chains and even modelling them 
for the customer. The delighted 
shopper described it as ‘excellent 
service’. 

The Serious Service Awards aim 
to encourage customer feedback 
and highlight great customer ser¬ 
vice examples from retailing staff. 
Customers are able to nominate 


staff from individual stores recog¬ 
nising excellent customer service 
skills. Once nominated both the 
member of the public and the per¬ 
son nominated have the chance of 
winning prizes supplied by Coca- 
Cola. Lisa is now entered into the 
annual award and will be joined 
by the other monthly winners. 

Lisa chose a Coca-Cola BBQ as 
her prize. The shopper who nomi¬ 
nated her received a digital radio.

MKNEWS | www.mk-news.co.uk | July 9, 2008 | 27 


Win private screening 
tickets to Meet Dave 



100 pairs of 
tickets to be won 
- get a ride in 
the Meet Dave 
simulator and 
pick up a great 
goody bag 

TO celebrate the release of ‘out 
of this world’ new comedy Meet 
Dave, starring Eddie Murphy, 
Twentieth Century Fox has 
teamed up with MK NEWS to 
give away 100 pairs of tickets to 
a private screening. 

In the film (Cert PG), due to hit 
cinemas nationwide on July 18, 
Dave (Eddie Murphy), newly 
arrived in New York City, may be 
the ultimate fish out of water. 

There’s something about him 
that’s not quite right - for 
starters, he seems remarkably 
out of place and uncomfortable 
in his own body. 

And for good reason: ‘Dave’ is 
not a man at all, but a ship 
made in the image of its minia¬ 


ture-sized captain. 

It’s Eddie Murphy in Eddie 
Murphy in Meet Dave and while 
his crew of miniature aliens are 
trying to save their planet, they 
encounter a new problem, as 
their ship becomes smitten with 
an Earth woman. 

On Wednesday, July 16 every¬ 
one will be invited to take the 
ride of a lifetime in the Meet 


To be in with the chance to win 
one of the 100 pairs of free tick¬ 
ets to a private showing of the 
film at Cineworld MK Xscape at 
10.30am on Saturday, July 19, 
just answer this simple question: 
Where is the Meet Dave simula¬ 
tor landing in Milton Keynes? 


Dave simulator at the Xscape, 
Central Milton Keynes, experi¬ 
encing the thrill of being a crew 
member on-board starship 
Dave as well as viewing exclu¬ 
sive footage from the film. 

Participants who ride the Meet 
Dave simulator will also receive 
a Meet Dave goody bag.

MUSIC REVIEWS 


SHINE ON 

Kooks 



THERE’S no denying it, you know. 

Shine On is a fantastic song. 

The way the guitars kick in during 
the chorus, the way the bass moves to 
the forefront during the verses, I’m 
even prepared to let them get away 
with the guitar solo in the middle, but 
it’s the way the song lingers on at the 
very end that that works for me. 

How the House Of Love didn’t kick on 
from there and become huge is one of 
life’s great mysteries. 

Unfortunately, the only thing the 
Kooks’ Shine On shares with the House 
Of Love’s Shine On is the name, 
because this really is quite unexciting. 

Even the ‘yeah’ before the instrumen¬ 
tal break sounds a bit half-hearted. It’s 
all very jingly-jangly and awfully radio¬ 
friendly, but to me it sounds like an 
album filler track that accidentally got 
released as a single. 

Never mind, I’m sure there’s better 
stuff on the album ... isn’t there? 


LOVE IS NOISE 

The Verve 


It’s not often I tell you a bit about 
myself, so make the most of it. 

Do you remember Urban Hymns? Of 
course you do, it was filled to the brim 
with classic singles like Bitter Sweet 
Symphony, The Drugs Don’t Work and, 
er, all those other classic songs. 

I know I certainly remember Urban 
Hymns, because way back in 1997 
when it came out I was working in a 
record shop. You might have heard of 
it, remember Sam Goody? Well, it was¬ 
n’t that one. 

In those days, working in that record 
shop was brilliant, partly because the 
staff could choose the music that 
blared out through the speakers. 

Anyway, that year there were four 
albums that were practically welded to 
the CD multichanger, namely the 
Prodigy’s The Fat Of The Land (fantas¬ 
tic), Radiohead’s OK Computer (very 
good), the Brand New Heavies’ Shelter 
(no, just no) and the Verve’s Urban 
Hymns. 

Now, track one (Bitter Sweet 
Symphony) is a great song. I had no 
problem with track one. Unfortunately, 
after that it was something of a 
descent into misery and tedium that 
only really came back to life at the end 
with Come On (and Richard Ashcroft 
yelling four-letter words for the enter¬ 
tainment of all the customers). 

Of course, they split up soon after 
and that was the end of that. 

Thing is, you can’t keep a good band 
down and so the Verve have reformed, 
but this isn’t the Verve I remember. 

I know this because at no point dur¬ 
ing the song did I feel like screaming 
‘For God’s sake, cheer up Ashcroft’ at 
the speakers. 

This is actually a fairly joyous little 
number, not least down to the whoops 
and hollers in the foreground. It sounds 
to me like the band did the backing 
vocals, but the producer told them to 
make it just a little more forceful, so 
they re-recorded it thinking ‘let’s go 
completely over the top for a laugh’, 
and to their shock, surprise and horror 
the producer informed them that that 
was exactly what he was looking for 
thank you very much. 

The thing is, it’s all over the song and 
it drives things along but it works. By 
rights this should shoot the Verve’s 
credibilty to Hell, but they’ve got away 
with it. If you ask me, this is the best 
Verve single in at least a decade, and 
possibly their second best ever.

I KUNG FU PANDA THE FILM 


PO the Panda, a waiter in a noodle 
restaurant, is fanatic about kung fu 
but also somewhat fanatical about 
food so is seriously lacking in the 
Bruce Lee department. 

In fact he is the laziest of all the 
animals in ancient China where 
this film is set. This is a big prob¬ 
lem because powerful enemies are 
coming and all hope is being 
pinned on a prophecy naming Po 


as the Chosen One to set things 
right. Can anyone turn this panda 
into a kung fu fighter in time to 
save the day? 

Thus is the premise for 
Dreamworks new animated film 
starring Jack Black as Po the 
Panda. Now of course we know 
Dreamworks as those clever people 
that make their films on two levels 
so that they work for the big peo¬ 


ple and the small people. I took a 
small person with me to test this 
theory and indeed my young com¬ 
panion heartily chuckled his way 
through the flick. 

As for the big person, well I was 
slightly less impressed. The film 
looks beautiful and there are some 
fun moments but somehow it did¬ 
n’t quite work for me. Maybe I am 
just a bit fed up with wise-ass car¬ 


toons and maybe there were just 
too many “ha ha isn’t the silly 
panda fat” jokes in there too for 
my liking. 

That said there are worse ways to 
spend cinema time these days 
(The Happening for example) so 
leave your brain at home, take 
some Dim Sum and check it out 
for yourselves.

BIG MOO 2 



LET’S Moo Again - like we 
did last summer! 

Get the suntan lotion and 
the wet wipes ready, it’s back! 

Last summer, The Big Moo 
helped Milton Keynes cele¬ 
brate turning 40 in a riot of 
fun. 

As life begins at 40, this 
year it’s back. And not just 
back, but bigger, bolder and 
better! So what’s in store this 
year? 

The weekend of celebrating 
will truly go on all weekend. 
Whether you’re sporty, arty, 
musical, or scientific - or just 
up for a great weekend of 
dancing and fun there’s very 
definitely something for you 
to enjoy. 

The Big Moo 2 on July 11- 
13 will undoubtedly leave 
you with a song if not in your 
heart than firmly between 
the ears. 

There’s live music at the Big 
Moo Moosic Stage in 
Campbell Park and on the 
Kik Music Stage in 
Midsummer Place on both 
Saturday and Sunday. For 
those of you who start the 


weekend as soon as Friday 
afternoon is over, Musik4u 
will be providing live music 
in Station Square all week¬ 
end and if you’re in the 
mood for a bit of Latin loving 
get down to Ramada Encore 
at thehub:mk on Friday for 
an evening of of salsa sensa¬ 
tion. 

The Ramada Encore will be 
the place to be on Saturday 
night as one of the world’s 
recognised greatest musical 
talents, Harry Harris ‘the 
best damn pianist in the civi¬ 
lized world’ according to 
Jonathan Ross, plays a set as 
part of The Big Moo. 

Harry will play jazz, 
cabaret, classical and popu¬ 
lar favourites in his own 
unique, awesome style. 

There will be a host of 
sporting and cultural events 
taking place including a fun 
run, art workshops, a beach

finally catches on to what’s hap¬ 
pening and threatens to inform 
the police, our thieves are left with 
a problem.

Herbert Lorn and many more. 

A talented local cast will perform

ARE you passionate about pergolas 
or potty about container garden¬ 
ing? This year the city is going for 
gold in Britain in Blooms’ nation¬ 
wide pursuit of finding Britain’s 
Best Large City. 

The Parks Trust, Milton Keynes 
Council and the Open University 
have joined forces to provide a 
truly inspiring visit for the compe¬ 
tition judges when they visit the 
city on Thursday, July 17. 

This year’s judging route begins at 
the Open University and will travel 
to Caldecotte Business Centre, 
Woughton On the Green, Willen 
Lake, Newport Pagnell, Meads 
Close Community Garden, 


Wolverton, the Theatre district and 
Campbell Park. Plus many of the 
city’s grid roads, including sections 
of the H3, H8, H10, V6, V7, V8 and 
V10. 

The judges will be examining flo¬ 
ral displays, permanent landscap¬ 
ing, community involvement 
cleanliness and sustainability and 
will compare Milton Keynes against 
other large cities, such as 
Nottingham, Cardiff and 
Bournemouth. 

You can help put the city on the 
national map by doing your bit to 
enhance your garden, street, village 
green or roadside verge. Last year 
the city won a silver gilt award and 


was named Best Large City in the 
Thames and Chiltern’s region and 
this year with your help it could 
make a gold award. 

David Foster, chief executive at 
The Parks Trust, said: “Milton 
Keynes’ magnificent parks and 
green spaces are what make the 
city unique. We know that a great 
deal of people love living in Milton 
Keynes and we believe that taking 
pride in our parks will inspire oth¬ 
ers to make their city a better place 
to live.” 

If you’re on the judging route 
there are a range of ways you can 
help to convince the judges that 
Milton Keynes is worthy of an 


bloom 

award: don’t forget to water and 
feed your hanging baskets and con¬ 
tainers in advance of the visit; help 
us keep the parks, open spaces and 
landscaped areas along the main 
roads as litter and graffiti free as 
possible, ensure you’re showing 
your garden off at its very best. If 
you’re out and about on July 17 and 
meet the judges let them know 
about the parts of Milton Keynes 
that are special to you. 

Even after the competition is over 
you can always help to improve 
your city by joining The Parks 
Trust’s regular Working for Wildlife 
work parties or becoming a ‘rover 
ranger’ and patrol our parks.

TNT’s ‘fast’ on 
delivering food 
hope for Africa 


MILTON Keynes express delivery giant TNT 
is famous for its super-fast service, but a 
fast service of a different kind during a 
fund-raising extravaganza at the depot has 
helped raise £30,000 for the United 
Nations’World Food Programme (WFP). 

A fast which included foregoing lunch for a 



Resisting temptation: TNT Customer Service 
Representative Jamie Wilson raised almost 
£100 when colleagues sponsored him to fast 
for 24 hours 


day was just part of a wacky week-long fund¬ 
raising effort held by the TNT team at 
Northfield Drive, Northfield, that helped 
raise the cash. 

The money raised by TNT will be chan¬ 
nelled into the WFP’s School Feeding 
Programme where children in developing 
countries are encouraged to attend school 
and receive a free nourishing meal. All the 
donations from TNT Express Services in the 
UK & Ireland will go to provide much-need¬ 
ed nutrition and education for youngsters in 
Tanzania. 

Milton Keynes Depot General Manager 
Darren Batty said: “It was fantastic to see so 
many members of the team forgo their 
lunch for the WFP. Even those that didn’t 
take part helped swell the money raised by 
getting involved in our other fund-raising 
events we held at the depot over the week. 

“It costs just 7p per day to feed and educate 
a child in Tanzania, that’s just £25 a year. The 
initiative is part of an ongoing partnership 
that has already seen TNT in the UK gener¬ 
ate more than £300,000 to support the excel¬ 
lent work undertaken by the WFP. 

“This donation goes some way to provid¬ 
ing real hope and a brighter future for hun¬ 
gry children in Tanzania. We do take our cor¬ 
porate social responsibilities very seriously 
and this is an ideal way to help those most in 
need.” 

More than 50 TNT Express Services depots 
and offices combined their efforts as part of 
the specially designated week with a bewil¬ 
dering array of fund-raising activities from 
fancy dress days, chest waxings, depot beau¬ 
ty salons, health checks, running and rowing 
challenges, cake baking, noodle-eating, 
managers in stocks, auctions, raffles and car 
valeting, to name but a few. 

The TNT Fight Hunger Week was an inte¬ 
gral part of a worldwide TNT programme to 
raise awareness of the need to combat glob¬ 
al hunger. 



Loadsamoney: Gazeley and Land Securities raised £40,000 for MK SNAP 


Industrial machinery auction 
raises £40k for local charity 


MILTON Keynes-based charity 
MK SNAP has received a dona¬ 
tion of £40,000 from global 
provider of sustainable logistics 
space, Gazeley and its partner, 
Land Securities. 

The donation from the two 
companies was raised from an 
event auctioning industrial 
machinery recently held at the 
Magna Park logistics park in 
Milton Keynes. 

The money will be used for the 
ongoing expansion of the charity 
which provides work preparation 
and life skills training for people 
over the age of sixteen with 
learning and physical difficulties. 

Ian Farmer, operations director 
of the charity,said: “This gener¬ 
ous donation will be used to help 
fund a new centre which will 
double the size of our current 
capacity and will accommodate 


more than 70 people. Not only 
will it house the growing MK 
SNAP team, but it has also been 
designed for use by the wider 
community, so will be a great 
benefit to our local area.” 

Don Morgan, planning and 
development director at Gazeley, 
added: “We always try to find 
ways to give back to the commu¬ 
nities in which we operate and 
MK SNAP plays a vital role sup¬ 
porting so many people in 
Milton Keynes. They make a 
huge difference to the lives of the 
people they work with, and we’re 
delighted to be able to lend a 
helping hand to such a great 
cause.” 

The Magna Park site where the 
auction was held, formerly know 
as Fen Farm, was previously 
owned by the Benson family. 

It was Charles Benson who 


originally came up with the idea 
to hold an event and donate the 
money to MK SNAP. 

The Benson family also kindly 
provided catering, car parking 
space and volunteers to help run 
the event. 

By working together with 
Gazeley and Land Securities, the 
team organised a hugely suc¬ 
cessful event which raised much 
needed funds to support a vital 
facility for local people. 

Charles Benson said: “As a long 
term supporter of MK SNAP, I am 
proud to be in a position where 
my work with other companies 
leads to further donations being 
made. Gazeley’s support for the 
community is always of great 
assistance and is another exam¬ 
ple of how such generosity can 
make a real difference to people’s 
lives.”

Under-pressure 
bosses are not 
taking holidays 

SUMMER holiday plans are in disarray as 
redundancy fears and the pressure to deliv¬ 
er results begins to take its toll across the 
region. 

According to the latest research from the 
Chartered Management Institute, execu¬ 
tives have postponed holiday and, even if 
they do go away, many refuse to stop work¬ 
ing. 

The study reveals that those who do go on 
holiday are unable to switch off - spending 
time on the phone, participating in vitural 
meetings or regularly checking voice and 
emails. 

Nearly 1,500 responded to the survey and 
key findings include one in three execu¬ 
tives in the south east are failing to use 
their full holiday entitlement. 

As the credit crunch takes effect belts are 
being tightened and instead of paying for a 
holiday 46 per cent want to exchange holi¬ 
day time for cash but, just 16 per cent of 
organisations say they will do so, only eight 
per cent said they have the option to give 
back unused holiday for flexible working 
options. 

Jo Causon, director, marketing and cor¬ 
porate affairs at the institute, says: “There 
is clearly a fear that ‘out of sight means out 
of mind’ but without a proper break indi¬ 
vidual performance can suffer and 
employers will notice mistakes more than 
they will absence through holiday.”

Seat Ibiza models which are 
being released to the UK market 
mid-July. 

Alongside these car makers 
will be exhibitors including 
Hyundai, Lexus, Kia, Suzuki, 
Skoda and Wayside Van Rentals. 

“The Motor Show has now 
become a regular event for the 
city,” commented Jackie Tracey, 
fvents manager at 

thecentre:mk, “with the selec¬ 
tion of quality and prestigious 
cars available customers can 
browse the models at their own 
leisure, with an opportunity to 
find out moretor arrange a test 
drive. 

“The event aims to help cus¬ 
tomers fine tune their car shop¬ 
ping. 

“Rather than visiting all the 
car dealerships in the local area, 
all you need to do is come to 
Middleton Hall and see a 
bespoke selection of cars.” 

The event is free of charge. 
The show will also be open till 
8pm on Thursday and Friday 
night, and visitors are reminded 
that parking is free after 6pm.

Come in when you're ready. 
There's never any pressure. 


Buckingham Ford is different. 


When you come to look around we leave you in peace. 
(Quite why other car-dealers swoop on customers, vul- 
ture-like, the second they step onto the forecourt 
is beyond - and beneath - us.) 


When you're ready to talk, we listen, are respectful 
of your circumstances and are happy for you to take 
as much time as you like. 


Then we do all that we can to help you to buy the car 
you want: and will never try to 'up-sell' you. 


If this is how you want a car-dealer to treat you 
please wander in to Buckingham Ford some time: 
there's no hurry. 


13 year Ford Protect warranty on all used cars.

First training 
session doubles

his side as they were put through gru¬ 
elling double training sessions. 

When the 38-year-old was presented to 
the media on Thursday after signing a 
one-year contract with a one year 
option, he demanded a fighting spirit 
from his players. 

He said: “I expect my team, and that 
means not only the player but myself 
and my staff, to fight until we are buried. 

“This is the kind of mentality I want. 

“If we are half dead on the floor we’ll 
still fight.” 

Di Matteo refused to be drawn to set¬ 
ting targets for the Dons in League One 
this season instead he simply insisted: 
“We will do our best.” 

He added: “I know a lot about League 
One it’s not a bad standard. It’s challeng¬ 
ing and we’ll just make sure we’re ready 
for it. 

“Success, success, success. That’s what 
I have in my mind.” 


The new boss only had high praise for 
the Dons, saying he did not need to 
weigh up his options before taking the 
job. 

“It’s a young club, a very ambitious 
club and the chairman has a great 
vision. I think it’s a great opportunity for 
me as well to start here.” 

Chairman Pete Winkelman shrugged 
off fears from fans that Di Matteo, in his 


first managerial job, is a risky decision. 

“I can understand why people think it’s 
a bit of a gamble,” Winkelman said, “but 
you’ve got to remember there’s a lot 
more experience at the football club 
now. 

“Roberto’s got a very strong team 
around him, these are friends, col¬ 
leagues who think the same about foot¬ 
ball and they can trust each other. 


“So everything is a gamble in football.” 
And what was it about Di Matteo that 
made Winkelman think he was his man? 

“He’s cool, he’s calm, he’s collected and 
very ambitious. There’s a steely determi¬ 
nation in him.”

signed new one-year deals with the

£2m skipper could 
soon be on his way 



Moving on? Captain Keith Andrews 


VIEW FROM THE M00CAMP 


BY SIMONE CORGflW _ 

simone.corgan@mk-news.co.uk 

NEW Dons supremo Roberto Di Matteo 
says he is eager to keep club captain 
Keith Andrews but MK NEWS under¬ 
stands the club are resigned to losing 
the player. 

Di Matteo, who was unveiled as the 
man to replace Paul Ince last week, 
admitted keeping the core of the squad 
was vital to the Dons’ year ahead. 

When asked if keeping skipper 
Andrews at the club was his main prior¬ 
ity he said: “Definitely, I’d like to keep the 
whole squad and build on the team 
because it’s very important - we’ll see 
what happens.” 

Watford are keeping tracks on the 27- 
year-old midfielder and are thought to 
have targeted him in an aim to return to 


the top flight next year while speculation 
linking him to a move to Blackburn 
Rovers, where former boss Ince is now at 
the helm, refuses to go away. 

As a vital asset and the heartbeat of the 
squad, MK Dons are not prepared to let 
the Dubliner go on the cheap and have 
slapped a £2million price tag on the 
player. 

Chairman Pete Winkelman described 
Andrews as an ‘enormously important 
cog in the wheel’ but hinted he would 
not stand in his way should he wish to 
leave the newly promoted side. 

Winkelman said: “Obviously it would 
take something extraordinary for him to 
leave. Keith knows he has a tremendous 
tutor (in Di Matteo) at the football club.” 

The Dons are known as a club that 
does not hold individuals back and 


Andrews’ profile rose last year - alerting 
big name teams of his potential. 

He was instrumental in the Dons’ cup 
double success last year with 14 goals to 
his name, his most prolific season to 
date. 

Andrews was then voted by his fellow 
peers as the League Two player of the 
year. 

He was also named in the Professional 
Footballer’s Association League Two 
team of the year. 

It has been a summer of change for 
Dons fans. 

First Ince switched to the Premier 
League and then Lloyd Dyer joined 
League One rivals Leicester City. 

Now it looks ever more likely that the 
skipper could be heading for the exit 
door at stadiummk. 


MK Dons have held talks with Tottenham 
Hotspur officials regarding a ground share 
idea. 

The Premier League side are mulling over a 
plan to move to Milton Keynes while their 
White Hart Lane home is redeveloped. 

Speculation amongfans has been increasing 
and MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman has 
admitted the north London side have been in 
touch:: “If Tottenham decide to redevelop on 
site it seems they will need temporary accom¬ 
modation and they have had a chat with us 
about using our stadium,” he said. 

“They haven’t come back yet but their inter¬ 


est shows the progress we’re making.” 

Spurs want to increase the capacity of their 
ground from 36,000 to 50,000 rather than 
rebuild a new multi-million pound stadium. 

stadiummk currently holds 22,000, which 
would be enough for Tottenham season ticket- 
holders, but once the upper tier is complete - 
which could be helped by the possible Spurs 
cash injection - will increase to 32,000. 

THE Dons’ home fixture against Carlisle 
United has been brought forward to a 
12.15pm kick-off. 

It has been moved from the original 3pm 


on Saturday, October 11 to accommodate 
SKY TV cameras. 

A NEW MK Dons home kit has been released. 

The shirt remains all white with new fea¬ 
tures including a wrap-over collar, black flash 
on the front left of the shirt and two black 
flashes on the back, while sleeves are also 
trimmed with black piping. 

ON Saturday MK Dons FC Disability First 
Team won the London and South East 
Ability Counts FA Cup with a remarkable 4 
- 3 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion. 


Despite going two goals down in the first 
half and playing the Dons fought back to 
level the scores at 2 - 2 just before half 
time with well taken goals from Roddy 
O’Neil and Keiron Reeves. 

Some slack defending let Brighton in for 
their third. 

Relentless pressure from the Dons even¬ 
tually paid off when O’Neil slotted in his 
second to bring the scores level at 3-3 with 
15 minutes remaining. Then Oscar 
Undungu then struck the winner. 

Dons FC Disability will now compete in 
the National finalsin two weeks time.

Stadium delays leave Lions

MK Lions will have to wait one more 
year for their own den. 

They were scheduled to be in the 
4,500-seater arenaimk at the MK 
Dons stadium in time for their new

But plans have been put back a year 
after developments at the North

They will now have to return to 
Bletchley Leisure Centre. 

Owner and coach Vince Macauley 
said: “I think it is common knowledge 
now that there are some delays with 
the arena at stadiummk as well as 
other aspects of the development. 

“We have had great support from 
the Leisure Centre and are grateful 
that they are at least there for us this

COUNTY CRICKET _ 

Essex shatter 
Northants big 
bucks dream 

NORTHAMPTON Steelback’s hopes of 
reaching the mega-bucks Twenty20 
final fell apart on Monday when they 
were knocked out of the competition 
by Essex Eagles. 

Essex won the cup quarter-finals at 
Chelmsford by 59 runs. 

Having won the toss the hosts went 
into bat and piled on 64 runs in the 
first six overs of power play. 

England star Ravi Bopara top-scored 
for the 2006 semi-finalist with 47 from 
26 deliveries. 

Essex were helped to their 192-9 
total by man-of-the-moment Graham 
Napier, who recently hit 152no from 
58 balls, added a quick 40 from 20 
balls. 

Rain then hit the match, delaying 
Northants’ innings, and ensuring the 
hosts would need 175 from 18 overs 
thanks to the Duckworth-Lewis 
method. 

Rob White’s stay at the crease was a 
brief one when he was dismissed for a 
golden duck on his second delivery 
then Napier had the wickets of 
Andrew Hall and David Sales. 

Northants were in disarray at 27-5 
until captain Nicky Boje steadied the 
ship with a half century and Lance 
Klusener (23) added runs. 

But Klusener was caught off the last 
ball and Essex completed their 
deserved victory. 


to host games at the Bletchley Leisure 
Centre for one year due to the facili¬ 
ty’s £18million revamp - the new bas¬ 
ketball court will have no seating for 
season ticket holders. 

Fans fear if the arena hits yet anoth¬ 
er delay the team might be forced out 
of Milton Keynes and Macauley has 
admitted that could be an issue. 

“The last thing we want to do is to 
have waited 10 years to win a trophy 
and then have to move out of the city. 

“If there is no venue here we have no 
choice, we coach 10,000 Milton 
Keynes children every year, our 
juniors are National Champions, the 
best in the country, our new academy

the team undefeated all season long,

In a very tight 100m Joey Duck 
shared first place with her 12.12sec 
run in to a strong headwind while 
Habee Folami grabbed third in to a

There were fourth places in the 
B400m for Estelle Djah 61.29sec and

56.90sec effort. 

Two third places came in the 3000m

CHERWELL LEAGUE 

Division Itoo 

MK Park’s James Clark was the hero 
with the bat as they recorded a two 
wicket victory away at Abingdon Vale. 

Clark showed his steely determina¬ 
tion with 45no from 56 balls at the 
end of the innings to take Park up to 
second in the table. 

Abingdon’s openers got the home 
side off to a good start before Ghufran 
Mohammed’s fifth over brought Park’s 
first success with keeper James Ward 
taking a smart catch down the leg 
side. 

But Vale recovered from the early 
loss to reach 111-4 which soon 
became 126-6. 

Park’s Mark Roberts took his first 
five-wicket hall for the club to finish 
with 5-42 as Vale completed their 
innings on 183-9. 

Park’s reply got off to the perfect 
start with James Ward hitting some 
blistering form. 

Opening partner Graham Simpson 
provided the perfect foil as Ward took 
the attack to Vale. 

Ward (58) fell to the left-arm spin of 


Paul White and Simpson (29) soon 
followed to leave Park 91-2 which 
quickly turned to 100-4. 

Wickets continued to fall and when 
James Sprittles and James Clark 
reached the crease Park were on 114- 
6 but they added 48 for the eighth 
wicket in ten overs before Sprittles

Clark despatched Vale’s attack to all

18 from one over, and he sealed victo¬ 
ry in style with a boundary. 

NORTHANTS

STONY Stratford have fallen to the 
bottom of the table following their 
sixth defeat of the season. 

Rushden Town handed them a 
crushing seven wicket loss. 

Stony’s Nick Allen and Graeme 
Carter put on 73 for the first wicket. 

It was the introduction of spin in the 
form of Graeme White and Mudasser 
Hussain which turned the match. 

Stony collapsed from 73-0 to 97-7 as 
Hussain and White ripped through 
the Stony lineup. 

Only Paul West with 20 and Pete 
Mitchell with a painstaking 23 off 93 
balls offered any real resistance. 

Stony’s last man, Michael Brown 
added an aggressive 23 not out from 
16 balls, as Stony finished on 161 all 
out from 52 overs. 

Hussain finished with remarkable 
figures of 20-5 and White grabbed 4- 
46. 

White and Darren Harrison’s ope- 
nening partnership was interupted 
when Dion Ebrahim removed White 
for 33 and Harrison for 51. 

Rushden powered to their target for 
the loss of just 3 wickets from 33 
overs.

Pointless exercise as Red 


Bulls blow it on first lap 



Webber leaves an arc of spray 
as he flashes down the straight 


BY SIMONE CORGAN 

simone.corgan@mk-news.co.uk 

A NIGHTMARE first lap of the British 
Grand Prix ensured a pointless week¬ 
end for Red Bull Racing. 

There was great expectation resting 
on the shoulders of the team following 
Mark Webber’s storming qualifying ses¬ 
sion which saw him clinch second 
place, Red Bull’s first ever front row 
start. 

But the Milton Keynes-based racing 
outfit kissed goodbye to any hopes of a 
podium when both drivers were caught 
in rain soaked chaos on the opening 
lap. 

While Britons were delighted to see 
Lewis Hamilton win the race there was 
heartbreak for thousands as David 
Coulthard retiring without completing 
a lap. 

The Scotsman announced his inten¬ 
tions to retire from the sport at the end 
of the season and saw his final race at 
Silverstone end in the cruellest of ways. 

Coulthard misjudged a chance to 
overtake Sebastian Vettel at Priory and 
spun off into the gravel where he was 
unable to recover. 

Ironically it is Vettel, whose race was 
also ended at the incident, that 
Coulthard has tipped to replace him 
next season. 

While Coulthard put a little blame on 
the treacherous wet conditions he did 
take responsibility for the mistake. 

He said: “The visibility was incredibly 
bad as you can imagine. 

“There was a clear gap down the 
inside, but unfortunately it was closing 
as I made the move. 

“I’m sorry for Red Bull. 

“I’m extremely disappointed for this 
to happen at my last British Grand 
Prix.” 

Not only were the Red Bull team curs¬ 


ing their luck for Coulthard’s exit they 
were also left scratching their heads 
when Webber also spun on the first lap. 

It was an error that cost Webber his 
magnificent second place as he then 
began competing with the wrong end of 
the pack. 

Team principal Christian Horner 
described it as ‘a hugely disappointing 
day’ as Red Bull’s chance of grabbing 


third place in the constructors champi¬ 
onship, from the grasp of Toyota, fell 
apart. 

The only positive from Sunday’s race 
was seeing Webber recover from several 
mis-handled manoeuvres to claim 
tenth place. 

But not even Webber, who has agreed 
a deal to race for the team again next 
year, could hide his frustration. 


The Aussie said: “I lost the car on the 
exit and had to let the field go past, so it 
was clear to spin back round. After that 
it was about making the right call for 
the right conditions. 

“It was a difficult day to go car racing 
and it just didn’t go our way today. The 
guys did a good job all week and it’s a 
shame we couldn’t convert our good 
qualifying performance.”

Enjoy summer in the city 


T HERE is never a shortage of things 
to do in Milton Keynes to fill up 
your summer days and nights. 

The city is only 41 years young but it 
has a wide range of activities and pas¬ 
times for all ages, every day of the 
week. 

If you are an active type then why not 
turn your hand at snowboarding, rock 


climbing, water skiiing or go-karting. 

If that sounds like a little bit too 
adventurous you can always take a 
walk, jog or run around the many 
parks and open spaces that the city 
has to offer. 

Even more fun, get the bike out of the 
garage, put on you helmet and while 
away a couple of hours seeing a differ¬

G ETTING out and about in MK 
has never been so much fun. 
With so much to do the 
summer is barely long 
enough to cram it all in. 

A good free way of enjoying this 
summer outdoors is taking advan¬ 
tage of the 4,500 acres of parks and 
green space that the city can offer. 

Walking through a wood, feeding 
the ducks, enjoying a picnic, meeting 
friends or simply letting the kids go 
wild - parks are a great way to have 
fun. 

Whether its a park, river valley, 
ancient woodland or a lakeside no 
one is ever more than half a mile 
away from green space. 

Cared for by The Parks Trust each 


park has its own individual character, 
from the quiet beauty of wildflowers 
in Shenley Wood to the buzz of a 
busy summer’s day at Willen Lake. 

Over the summer months the 
trust’s rangers will transform the 
parks into magical places with a host 
of events and activities to keep the 
young and young at heart interested. 

From animal Olympics to open air 
cinema, live concerts to cricket, bike 
riding to nature conservation there is 
something for everyone. 

A lot of the events are free while 
others have a nominal charge. 

For further information on what is 
happening and how to get the best 
out of your parks visit the trust’s 
website at www.theparkstrust.com 


The jewel in 
the crown 

WILLEN Lake remains a jewel in MK’s 
crown. With more than one million visitors 
each year who are we to argue. People 
come to play, picnic, take part in water- 
sports, jog, see events or just simply find 
themselves a nice spot and watch the 
world go by. 

In the summer Willen really comes into 
it own and if its a water experience you 
want then you have come to the right 
place. 

You can hire canoes, sailing dinghies 
and windsurf on the lake or even learn 
how to wakeboard. The lake is also 
licensed for fishing and is a popular venue 
for angling competitions. 

One thing for sure when you visit Willen 
is that you are likely to see a jogger. A cir¬ 
cuit of the lake works out at about 1.75 
miles or if you continue around the north 
lake about 2.75 miles. 

At the same time, and if you are feeling 
that little bit energetic you can use the 
trim trail -12 specially designed exercise 
stations with a suggested routing for 
three different fitness levels from begin¬ 
ner to experienced. 

If you enjoy the challenge of the trim 
trail there are similar courses to try at 
Linford wood, Lodge Lake and Tattenhoe 
Park. 

A superb high ropes course, Aerial 
Extreme, can also be found, beside the 
lake and offers a great day out for all the 
family.

O N a warm summer day, there 
is only one place to be in 
Milton Keynes - thehub:mk, 
the city’s newest and most 
vibrant restaurant and cafe 

quarter. 

Whether you are looking for a light 
summer lunch with friends of 
exquisite dim sum, homemade 
Italian pastas and pizzas, enjoying a 
celebratory lunch of oysters and 
champagne, or you just want to 
while away a few hours in the sun 
with a salad, gourmet sandwich and 
coffee or a refreshing jug or two of 
sangria, thehub@mk offers a wide 
choice of fabulous restaurants and 
cafes. 

This eclectic mix of quality cafes, 
restaurants and bars offers a huge 
variety of dining experiences from 
around the world, to suit all tastes. 

Each restaurant has al-fresco din¬ 
ing facilities enabling visitors to 
enjoy the hot summer sun overlook¬ 
ing the central piazza with its cool¬ 
ing fountains that play lazily all day. 

Families love it too - you can sit 
outside soaking up the sun, sipping 
an iced frappuccino and whiling 
away a warm afternoon while the 
children play safely in the central 
piazza, but make sure you have a 
change of clothes, as it’s guaranteed 
they will not be able to resist run¬ 
ning in the fountains. 

A great place to bring the kids for 
lunch, the Theatre District has a host 
of family friendly restaurants includ¬ 
ing favourites such as Pizza Hut and

In fact there maybe some unexpect¬ 
ed surprises as an alternative as the 
area is crammed with child friendly 
venues - Bella Italia will happily pro¬ 
vide crayons and colouring books, 
Ortega lives by the Spanish rule of 
‘no rules’ (perfect for kids!), you can 


get some great food deals for chil¬ 
dren at all the bars and of course 
Taipan who won the award for ‘best 
family restaurant in MK’ during 2007.

away as Xscape, Milton Keynes will

ALL-OVER GLOW_ 

Whether you’re planning a holiday or staying at 
home, a golden glow will perfect any summer look. 

The safest method of achieving this is using self¬ 
tan. 

There are plenty of products on the market, the 
most famous of which, is St. Tropez. 

The company has been developing self-tan for 
years, and certainly knows a thing-or-two about 
getting bronzed. 

Their signature 3-step regime, although pricey, 
proves to be effective in banishing nightmare 
streaks and patches, and by choosing the correct 
tone for your skin, you can avoid the dreaded ‘tan¬ 
goed’ look. 

HOT HAIR_ 

From straighteners to hairspray and curlers to 
mousse, the daily ordeal that your hair can go 
through is easy to forget. The good old ponytail will 
form the basis of the season’s hair fashion, so give 
your hair a chance to replenish itself by applying a 
moisture rich product. 

Try The Body Shop’s ‘Poppyseed Reviving Mask’ or 
‘Amlika Leave-In Conditioner’ for natural nourish¬ 
ment. 

FLAWLESS FACE_ 

With your brand new tan, your usual foundation 
will of course be far too light. 

Instead of splashing out on a new one, save 
money by going without heavy make-up. 

For this, flawless skin is key - so try the following: 
Use an exfoliating product to draw out impurities. 
Cleanse and tone daily. 

If possible, ensure that all products used are from 
the same skincare range. 

Always remove make-up before bed. 

Eat healthily and drink lots - of water that is! 

MAKE-IT-UP_ 

Fresh faced beauty is back - just in time for the sun¬ 
shine. 

Healthy,fresh, dewy skin is expected to be popular 
- yet thrown into the mix are statement lips - name¬ 
ly fuchsia pink. MAC, Barry M and GOSH cosmetics 
provide a vast spectrum of lip colour, including the 
various shades of pink currently in the fashion spot¬ 
light. 



Make a 
statement 
- go bold 
with your 
lipstick 

















































hOtMK 



WATER BABY?_ 

Hayfever, sweat and swimming 
are all enemies of the cosmetic 
world, so investing in some 
waterproof make-up is a sum¬ 
mertime must. 

To combat streaming eyes, a 
good waterproof mascara will do 
the trick. 

There are also many other little- 
known waterproof cosmetics 
gracing the shelves. 

Eyeliner, lipgloss, eye shadow, 
and make-up sealer are just some 
of the vast range of products for 
you to get your hands on! 

FASHIONABLE FINGERS & 

WACKY WRISTS _ 

Whoever said less is more was 
wrong - in the fashion world at 
least. 

We’ve had oversize handbags 
and sunglasses... Now say hello 
to oversize jewlery. 

The cliches of ‘the bigger the 
better’ and ‘the more the merrier’ 
come to mind when considering 
fashion this summer. 

Cocktail rings are going to be 


big - literally! 

High street chains such as 
TopShop have jumped on the 
bandwagon, closely followed by 
asos.com, the fashion site adored 
by twenty-somethings world¬ 
wide. 

Bundles of bangles will adorn 
the wrists of fashion-sawy 
women throughout the country, 
according to the catwalks of 
Emilio Pucci. 

DON’T WASTE YOUR WAIST 

Waistlines are set to be taken to 
new heights, with high-waisted 
clothing and belts continuing 
their bang-on-trend status 
throughout the summer months. 

TREAT YOUR FEET_ 

As the time to dust-off your flip 
flops edges closer, it’s time to get 
your feet gorgeous again. 
Colourful toenails are on-trend 
and fun - with the hottest colours 
of the season being neon-brights 
and cute pastels. OPI have the 
best-quality and largest range of 
nail colour - www.opi.com 


Make sure you 
stay safe when 
exposed to the 
sun’s rays 

Follow our ten point guide 
to a safe, sunny summer 

1 - You still need to use sun screen 
even on a cloudy day, as although 
clouds filter some of the sun’s rays, 
others still get through. 

2 - When you are out in the sun, try 
to cover up with loose, cool clothing 
and wear a broad brimmed hat and 
sunglasses. 

3 - The sun is at its strongest 
between 10am and 2pm, so try to 
avoid sunbathing during these 
times. 

4 - Are you fair skinned or dark 
skinned? make sure you know what 
skin type you are, so you can use 
the right sun screen for you, if in 
doubt ask your pharmacist for 
advice. 

5 - You can still get sunburned in the 
water, so try to use waterproof sun 
screen, especially for children. 

6 - Getting a tan doesn’t prevent 
further damage, so you should 
continue to protect your skin. 

7 - Special care must be taken to 
protect children, as sun damage can 
lead to problems in later life. 

8 - Remember to follow the 
instructions on the back of your sun 
screen container, you can never use 
too much. 

9 - Remember to take plenty of non¬ 
alcoholic drinks, this will help to 
avoid becoming dehydrated and is 
good for your dkin too. 

10 - Don’t forget to put sun screen 
on those important little places such 
as your ears, neck and feet. Most 
importantly, have a great summer.

S UMMER is a great time to get 
healthy. Whether it is getting 
fit, eating more healthy or just 
pampering yourself the warm 
days and longer evenings 
offer you the perfect chance to make 
yourself feel and look good. 

Joining a gym, going for a run, 
swimming, walking, cycling or just 
exercising, safely at home there is an 
activity that will suit you. 

Think about the simple things that 


can go a long way to a healthier 
lifestyle for you and the planet. 
Instead of popping around the cor¬ 
ner shops in your car why don’t you 
walk round and if its practical try 
cycling in to work at least once or 
twice a week. 

Its easy to think of reasons not to 
exercise and no one is saying its not 
tough getting started, but once you 
have started its probably a decision 
you will not regret. 


Remember to consult a doctor if 
you are unsure about what activity 
may be right for you. 

The Food Standards Agency has few 
tips on how to make healthier and 
safer food choices. 

Eat more fruit, vegetables and 
starchy food such as rice bread, pasta 
and potatoes. Also try protein rich 
foods such as meat, fish, eggs and 
pulses. Cut down on salt, fat and 
sugar.

Get back to nature 
and into the garden 


EVER forget that the garden 
is an important room of the 
house but often gets 
neglected. In the summer 
time this outside room 
comes into its own. You can spend as 
much or as little as you want on this 
area of your house. 

So what is hot and what is not in 
the garden this year? 

Get your lawn into shape. There’s a 
move back to formal lawns so is your 
mower up to the challenge. The per¬ 
fect lawn will be the envy of your 
neighbours. 

Turn on the television at the 
moment and chances are a cookery 
programme is telling you to get back 
to basics and start growing your own 
vegetables. 

None more so than Hugh Fearnley- 
Whittingstall who has made the 
thought of us popping on our wellies 
and planting some spuds and broad 
beans a sexy and cheaper option. 

Don’t worry if you haven’t got loads 


of space either, a raised bed, grow 
bag or pots could soon have you 
knee deep in vegetables and herbs. 

The self sufficiency theme contin¬ 
ues with the re-invention of a classic 
70s item, the greenhouse. 

A small greenhouse doesn’t have to 
break the bank and coupled with the 
vegetable growing the Good Life is 
coming your way. 

The recycling revolution continues 
at a pace as more and more of us are 
actually stopping to consider what 
damage we are doing to the environ¬ 
ment. 

Changes in ‘pay as you throw’ 
charges will see a spread in 
wormeries and compost bins. 

You’ve seen the big wind turbines 
and you’ve heard of solar panesl, well 
watch out on a garden shed roof near 
you soon. 

Small specially developed turbines 
and solar panels could soon be pow¬ 
ering your shed lighting, pond 
pumps and even propogating units. 


I know we said go formal with the 
lawns but there is still a strong trend 
to giving something back to nature 
with your own wildlife garden. 

It doesn’t have to be a huge space 
but it will mean that your garden 
could well get a visit from a host of 
insects, butterflies, toads and hedge¬ 
hogs. Also think about getting a bird 
box, ther’s never been a better time 
to be twitcher! 

Maligned by many but bedding 
plants are back big time, probably 
more in the way of formal displays to 
complement your new formal lawn. 

More in the way of informal dis¬ 
plays but some formality will be nec¬ 
essary to complement the formal 
lawn. 

Of course you need somewhere to 
sit and admire all of the work that 
you have put in don’t you and tradi¬ 
tional canvas seaside deck chairs 
have forced their way onto the patio 
to sit comfortable alongside last 
years expensive hardwood designs.

Having fun with something for everyone 


F UN seekers will be spoiled for 
choice as organisers offer a 
variety of amusements around 
the city, from the colourful to 
the downright bizarre. 

On Sunday, July 13 the most diverse 
group of people ever to assemble 
under one roof will fill Christ the 
Cornerstone Church to celebrate the 
city’s variety as part of the first Fringe 
Festival of the Arts. 

Residents of every age, sexual orien¬ 
tation, religion, ethnicity and physical 
disability will then take part in a 
Celebr8 parade through the city cen¬ 
tre. 

The Fringe Festival will run through¬ 
out the weekend, with over 100 artists 
and organisations showcasing their 
work. 

The Big Moo 2 will draw the crowds 
at Campbell Park again this year from 
July 11 tol3. 

Events across the three days include 
the exciting urban beach volleyball 
tour, family fun runs, live music con¬ 
certs, MK-orientated exhibitions, an 
arts festival, and much more with 
many events free to the public. 
Successful events from 2007 like 
Musik4U, the Mascot Olympics and 
another world record attempt will all 
be back again. You can get involved 
too - just visit www.thebigmoo.co.uk. 

Get your masks on and help out 
charity at the same time as the Milton 
Keynes Masked Ball is back on 
Saturday, July 19. 


This is no ordinary charity ball, this 
is a ball with a difference... ‘this one 
rocks!’ There are no boring speeches, 
the evening is packed with entertain¬ 
ment - a showcase of Milton Keynes 
talent - from the string quartet on the 
red carpet when you arrive to the ‘fun 
casino’ and the host of live bands in 
the ballroom, you’ll be on your feet all 
night! 


For more information visit 
www.mkmaskedball.co.uk 
Proms in the Park returns to 
Campbell Park, Milton Keynes on July 
19. 

The concert will feature amazing 
performances and a variety of popular 
classics and the firework and laser 
finale will be bigger and more amaz¬ 
ing than ever before. It’s a great event 


for all the family. 

Once again the London Gala 
Orchestra is performing at the event 
and they will be under the baton of 
renowned local conductor Hilary 
DavanWetton. Also returning as guest 
soloist, by popular request, the multi¬ 
talented mezzo soprano, composer 
and record producer, Juliette Pochin.
